Pros
  1. Hardly any politics.
  2. Good place to learn.
  3. Very agile.
  4. Good for career growth and to start a career.
  5. Inspiring colleagues.
  6. Lot of free snacks, fruits, and cookies.
Cons
  1. Work-life balance is a question mark. Even without management demanding, peers work day and night. This causes peer pressure and jolts work-life balance.

  2. There's no place for fun. Hardly any team building. You're expected to work and contribute from day 1.

  3. You need to talk to multiple internal teams to understand things, and that can get tiring at times.

Advice to Management

Just go a little easy. Everyone seems to be restless.
